Hands-on art workshop success

Together the children – aged five and under – created a giant painting inspired by the work of Cornish coastal painter Christopher Wood.

Staff at Pallant House Gallery said the workshop allowed children to create in a dynamic and engaging way.
The event came after the launch of the gallery’s major summer exhibition, Christopher Wood: Sophisticated Primitive.
The exhibition celebrates the life and art of the artist, who died aged 29.
